The Child Nutrition Program in Seekonk Public Schools

At the middle and high school levels, our focus will be providing healthy and nutritionally balanced meals with increased selection. Other areas of importance include service, presentation, quality, and making the program student-friendly. Our Profiles in Good Taste program is sure to meet your dining needs and may include some or all of the following concepts, depending on the school.
